Two people were injured Tuesday afternoon in a two-vehicle accident in south Salina.
Patricia Persell, 84, of Salina, was northbound on S. Ohio Street in a 2012 GMC Terrain when she attempted to turn left onto Albert Avenue and was struck by a southbound 2014 Honda Odyssey driven by Shirley Davis, 77, of Salina, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
The accident occurred at approximately 2:40 p.m. Tuesday.
The impact of the collision forced the Odyssey over the curb on the southwest corner of the intersection, where it took out a street sign and a vent tube belonging to the City of Salina, Forrester said.
Persell complained of minor injuries and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center. Davis also suffered minor injuries, but was not transported. Davis had an 81-year-old male passenger who was not injured.
The Terrain sustained major front-end damage and the Odyssey also had front-end damage, Forrester said. Both were towed from the scene.
Both women told police that they had a green light, Forrester said. There were no witnesses to verify who had a green light, so police are checking surveillance video in the area to try to determine who was at fault in the accident.
